Business Litigation

Kenney & Sams recognizes that litigation can be an expensive undertaking made worthwhile only through achievement of a positive result. Accordingly, we approach litigation differently than many other law firms: we outline, at the inception, our comprehensive evaluation of the case and our strategy to dispose of it efficiently and effectively, whether through dispositive motion, favorable settlement, or trial. Working closely with our clients and, if applicable, their general counsel, corporate law department, or risk managers, we customize a litigation budget and litigation plan for each case. This allows our clients to make informed decisions about the risks and benefits of the proposed litigation. Our approach is simple but effective – we prepare the case for victory at trial. In most cases, this approach forces a favorable, cost effective settlement. In cases that do not settle, our clients are well prepared for trial.
